523 Status (1/2)
”Severed fingers. Ambulance ETA in three minutes,” the nurse in front of the reception desk yelled before she quickly picked up another call.
Lu Wenbin and Yu Yuan quickly went to the reception door, put on their gloves, and waited with their hands held up in front of them.
An ambulance arrived in a flash.
”Excuse me.” A resident doctor rushed out from behind him, cast a glance at the license plate, and picked up a patient suffering stomach spasms.
Yu Yuan cast a glance at the patient in the vehicle and whispered, ”I'm guessing it's intestinal obstruction caused by constipation.”
”Can't you think of something more positive?” Lu Wenbin walked two steps forward and returned to the front of the reception door.
Yu Yuan chuckled a couple of times and said, ”The people from the General Surgery Department will be cleaning the feces, not you.”
”So, I am lucky to have chosen the Emergency Department?” Lu Wenbin said and gestured with his chin. ”The ambulance is here.”
”Not yours.” A resident doctor with a face so plain that no one could remember his name came forward with a calm expression while he gestured with his mouth. ”The ambulance with the car plate ending with 820 has a patient suspected to have acute appendicitis.”
”What is going on, recently? Appendicitis, intestinal obstructions, and severe hand injuries from fireworks? It's summer, you know?” Lu Wenbin sighed. ”Where's the summer heatstrokes, fever, burnt, and scalded patients?”
”All of them went to the Emergency Medicine Division. We also receive people with brain hemorrhages and cerebral thrombosis.” The resident doctor with the plain face and a name that no one could remember turned his head around and looked at Lu Wenbin's dark eyebags before he said, ”You should pay attention to yourself. Don't suddenly die in the department.”
Lu Wenbin was stunned for a moment before he felt warmth in his heart. As a lonely and shameless single man, he occasionally looked forward to people showing concern for him.
”Even if I suddenly die, I want to die on pork trotters.” Lu Wenbin gritted his teeth as he tried to act strong.
The resident doctor with the plain face and a name that no one could remember waved his hand in front of him to show disdain.
”Meh,” Yu Yuan said, ”Make sure it's sterile.”
Lu Wenbin looked forward and said nothing for a long while.
Another ambulance came by. The patient that was sent over was still not the one with the severed fingers.
Yun Hua Hospital's Emergency Department had always been an outstanding department in Yun Hua Hospital. After becoming the Emergency Medical Center, the patients who came for treatment and the number of ambulances sending over patients increased.
And this was when the Emergency Medical Center was still not fully operational. Based on Huo Congjun's thoughts, he should have the management rights for the Beijing 120 Emergency Station. At that time, the allocation of emergency patients would be determined by Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center. Naturally, the Emergency Departments of other hospitals will become their Emergency Medical Center's subordinate unit. They will have to undertake the acute and serious illness or injuries nearby, take the patients Yun Hua Hospital did not want, or develop their own departments. It was a good way to force a kick start of new innovations…
Of course, Old Huo only thought about it.
In some prefecture-level cities, even when their greatest tertiary Grade A hospital's Emergency Department wanted such power, they needed all sorts of favorable conditions to help them. It was even more difficult for Yun Hua, since it was a city with a population of more than one million people.
Furthermore, the actual size of Yun Hua Emergency Medical Center was not big enough yet.
Nowadays, doctors and nurses in the Emergency Department were too busy to take on more responsibilities. If Huo Congjun wanted the department to take up more responsibilities, he might not even have enough staff even if he doubled the number of doctors and nurses. Of course, this was one of the reasons why Yun Hua Hospital and even the directors of Yun Hua Hospital actively support Huo Congjun. Expanding the department was a good thing in the long run.
Lu Wenbin impatiently asked, ”So, what's our ambulance's number plate?”
”You didn't ask them?” Yu Yuan retorted.
”I thought you're the one who's supposed to ask? How annoying…” Lu Wenbin was stupefied. He wanted to take out his phone, but at the same time, he could not.
Yu Yuan saw that Lu Wenbin could not even take a joke, and she shook her head before she said, ”P70.”
”What?” Lu Wenbin did not hear it properly.
Yu Yuan spoke with a slight accent, so she repeated, ”P70, P of ABCDEFGH… P in the alphabet.”
”What?”
”I didn't expect P to be so far.” Yu Yuan suddenly fell into deep thought.
…..
The ambulance with the number plate ending with P70 only arrived after two minutes.
When the end of the ambulance was opened, the patient's parent had already appeared, and he screamed with a hoarse voice, ”Doctor, doctor!”
”How's the blood pressure and heartbeat?” Yu Yuan rushed up at once. Her hands blocked the parent's view. Then, she asked the paramedics, ”Are the severed fingers with you? Give it to Doctor Lu.”
The doctors entered into their professional mindsets at once. The parent could not interrupt them. They could only ask by the side, ”Doctor, can the finger be reattached? My child is still so young. If he becomes crippled, his whole life will be ruined…”
Yu Yuan nodded. She motioned Lu Wenbin to leave with the gurney. She then turned her head around and said coldly, ”How many family members came here?”
”Two.”
”One stays to sign some forms, one goes to pay. Do you know that you can't apply soy sauce on a wound?”
”I can't?” The parent was stunned.
